The 2015 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts took place between 24 to 28 June.
On 17 June 2015, it was announced that the Foo Fighters had cancelled a number of appearances, including the Friday night headline slot at Glastonbury 2015, due to lead singer Dave Grohl falling off stage, and fracturing his leg, during the band's concert in Gothenburg, Sweden.Florence and the Machine were announced as their replacement on 17 June. As part of their set, Florence and the Machine performed a cover of the Foo Fighters' "Times Like These", which they dedicated to Grohl.
The biggest crowd of the weekend was drawn by Lionel Richie, who drew 100,000-120,000 for the "Legend" slot on Sunday afternoon.
General Admission Tickets for the festival cost £225.
The weather was mostly sunny, but it rained quite a lot on Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Glastonbury /ˈɡlæstənbri/ is a small town in Somerset, England, situated at a dry point on the low-lying Somerset Levels, 23 miles (37 km) south of Bristol. The town, which is in the Mendip district, had a population of 8,932 in the 2011 census. Glastonbury is less than 1 mile (2 km) across the River Brue from Street, which is now larger than Glastonbury.
Evidence from timber trackways such as the Sweet Track show that the town has been inhabited since Neolithic times. Glastonbury Lake Village was an Iron Age village, close to the old course of the River Brue and Sharpham Park approximately 2 miles (3 km) west of Glastonbury, that dates back to the Bronze Age. Centwine was the first Saxon patron of Glastonbury Abbey, which dominated the town for the next 700 years. One of the most important abbeys in England, it was the site of Edmund Ironside's coronation as King of England in 1016. Many of the oldest surviving buildings in the town, including the Tribunal, George Hotel and Pilgrims' Inn and the Somerset Rural Life Museum, which is based in an old tithe barn, are associated with the abbey. The Church of St John the Baptist dates from the 15th century.
Glastonbury Festival is a five-day festival of contemporary performing arts that takes place near Pilton, Somerset, England. In addition to contemporary music, the festival hosts dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret, and other arts. Leading pop and rock artists have headlined, alongside thousands of others appearing on smaller stages and performance areas. Films and albums recorded at Glastonbury have been released, and the festival receives extensive television and newspaper coverage. Glastonbury is the largest greenfield festival in the world, and is now attended by around 175,000 people, requiring extensive infrastructure in terms of security, transport, water, and electricity supply. The majority of staff are volunteers, helping the festival to raise millions of pounds for good causes.
Inspired by the ethos of the hippie, counterculture, and free festival movements, the festival retains vestiges of these traditions, such as the Green Fields area, which includes sections known as the Green Futures and Healing Fields. After the 1970s, the festival took place almost every year and grew in size, with the number of attendees sometimes being swollen by gate-crashers. Michael Eavis hosted the first festival, then called Pilton Festival, after seeing an open-air Led Zeppelin concert at the 1970 Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music.

Le gage d’un professionnalisme accompli. Le nombre des années n'attend pas chez Pharrell Williams.

This video sees my partner Lisa and I attend the Glastonbury Festival. I have documented some of the highlights from the 5 days that we were there and included many of the acts and shows we saw. Even 5 days isn't enough to catch everything Glastonbury has to offer but I hope this videos gives you a good taste of how great and grand the festival is. During the course of the festival we caught acts like, Lionel Richie, Florence & The Machine, Mark Ronson, The Who, Ben Howard, James Bay, Paul Weller, The Proclaimers, Motörhead and even the rather disappointing Kanye West who officially has the worlds biggest ego. My partner Lisa was even interviewed twice by the BBC :-) Where else in the world can you sing happy birthday to the Dalai Lama, Appear on TV, See a robotic spider spitting flames, D...

Live at Glastonbury 2015. Years & Years.
I asked her if she went off to work in a thirties ball gown
Why I should sit here and write lyrics around
And she said, smiling, what to write was easy
Write a song about mud, music and me
Well Ocusdubuko were rockin' it late last night
Flamenko, hip hop rhythm, making us all feel like
The sun beaming down on the back of my neck
But today's just been poorin' wet
But the people here have lost the city from them now
Walkin' past eachother in the rain, smiling, I say wow
Is it one night in this field and we're washed from all the rushing
We're all country folk now
Laughing and singing and hugging
Write me a song about mud, music and me
Write me a song about this Glastonbury
Write me a song about mud, music and me
Write me a song about this Glastonbury
Yo, then I got to wonder wether
Lye by a pond singing kiss her
Life brings many blessings when you least expected
It cuts your strings and you're free for that time to be
Kiss her and let her kiss me
Goin' back to her van and I wanna do rudeys
She's a lady so I just kiss on her boobies
Love, I've seen nudeys, kay, you just sued me
Score this own goal in my like Wayne Rooney
Write me a song about mud, music and me
Write me a song about this Glastonbury
Write me a song about mud, music and me
Write me a song about this Glastonbury
Everyone is, everyone is, everyone is
